 Hello! I install Tor v0.2.4.17-rc on centos 6.4.
 I have a problem with the launch of a non-privileged user.
 useradd toruser
 su - toruser -c "service tor start"

 I uncommented in torrc "Log debug file /var/log/tor/debug.log"
 but there is no /var/log/tor/debug.log
 I wanted to check HiddenService and uncommented:
 HiddenServiceDir /usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_service/
 HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
 but private_key and hostname do not create in
 /usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_service/
 you have Russian language support?
 I can write in Russian?
